Look out of the window. Is it sunny, rainy, windy or cloudy? The weather changes from day to day, and it changes what we wear and do.
Kinds of weather
| Weather | What we wear | What we can do | Stay safe |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☀️ sunny | hat, light clothes, sunscreen | go to the beach, play outside | drink water, stay in the shade at midday |
| 🌧️ rainy | raincoat, boots, umbrella | read, play indoor games, watch the plants drink | stay away from flood water and drains; come inside if there is lightning |
| 💨 windy | clothes that will not blow away | fly a kite in an open field | keep away from power lines and falling branches |
| ☁️ cloudy | take an umbrella just in case | go for a walk | watch for rain coming |
Our two seasons
